LinkedIn limits — FAQ
What is the LinkedIn headline character limit?
The LinkedIn headline limit is 220 characters. Because the headline is one of the most heavily searched fields on LinkedIn, use those characters well: lead with your role and specialisation, then a credential or proof. This counter shows your live character count and how many you have left.
What is the LinkedIn About / summary character limit?
The LinkedIn About (summary) section allows up to 2,600 characters. Only the first ~2 lines are visible before the "see more" cut-off, so front-load your strongest hook. Switch this tool to the "About / Summary" tab to count against the 2,600 limit.
What is the LinkedIn post character limit?
A LinkedIn post allows up to 3,000 characters, but only roughly the first 140–210 characters show in the feed before "see more". Put your hook in those opening characters. Use the "Post" tab here to track your count.
Is this LinkedIn counter free and private?
Yes — completely free, no signup, and it runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored. The limits shown are LinkedIn's standard maximums and may vary slightly over time.
